This year marks the 50th anniversary of the acclaimed Replica Grand Seiko line. To celebrate this occasion, the Japanese watch manufacture has introduced an incredible limited collection, which consists in six high-end timepieces.With the deep-rooted heritage over the past half century, the new special collection has been designed extremely refined, demonstrating the company’s expertise in traditional watchmaking. While all the dials bear the gold Grand Seiko lion logo, the watch each in the range boasts a similar style but come with three different movements and different sizes.

The most impressive model from the new collection is unquestionably the Grand Seiko Spring Drive Limited Edition presented in the first photo. This watch adopts a solid platinum case, measuring 40.2 mm in diameter. It also incorporates a winding crown, located at 3 o’clock, as well as a raised sapphire crystal, coated with anti-glare treatment. The transparent sapphire crystal case-back reveals the fine workings of the superbly made movement – a Caliber 9R15 Spring Drive . We also can find the line’s lion logo on the 18k gold automatic rotor.

The dial design is all about tradition. It is underscored by powerful hour and minutes hands, joined by a slender seconds hand. They circulate serenely over elaborately made minute and hour-markers. Additionally, the dial comprises a power reserve display, located on a segment between 7 and 8 o’clock, as well as a date indication, featured in an aperture at 3 o’clock.

The water-resistance for this elegant timepiece is down to 100 meters. A black crocodile leather strap, completed by a platinum buckle, finalizes the features of the new Replica Seiko watch. Strictly limited to just 30 pieces , the watch comes with the price of a whopping 2,100,000 yen (just over $25,000).
